    We have no media department.

    We do, but they are obviously thin. They managed to film a video piece featuring Checker drinking a sponsor’s product.... clearly  a matter of prioritisation. 
     

    maybe it is the way of the future though - the players have all made a fuss of Clarry on social so perhaps that’s a low rent way to celebrate the occasion nowadays.

    Interviewed by Ben Gibson as part of ‘Demons lock in first side of 2021’. As a normally young man of few words was articulate and quietly confident. A highlight reel is also there with Clarrie ‘kicking’ the ball a great deal. (vision of the complete champion!)

    Upwards and onwards Clayton! 
     

    May your next ?for the MFC really scale the heights and attain the ultimate fabled grail.

    • Grapeviney changed the title to Clayton Oliver’s 100th - no puff piece, no profile, no promo

    He played a little bit too cute today, needs to take the first option more often, use his good footskills rather than rely on the handball. Still nice to see he got the pill though

    Of more concern right now is the joint is empty 20 minutes from the bounce. Cannot for the life of me understand why we don’t have 40k+ here.  Embarrassing 

    Yes, it was a disappointing crowd.  I wanted to come. But after considering the 17,000 km distance, $8,000 airfare and two weeks’ quarantine, I decided to give it a miss. Slack, I know. Seriously, i just wish I had the chance to attend.

    35 disposals for the game. 

    10 kicks and 25 handballs. The part of his game I was hoping for an adjustment over the summer.

    The most unfairly disrespected superstar in the league. 

    We're not likely going to see a better first 100 games for a long time. 

    Well done Clarry - now sign that contract!

    Should have led the team out yesterday Didnt, Should have tossed the Coin yesterday Didnt, should have been hoisted on someones shoulders in acknowledgement of probably the best first 100 games ever. Wasn't, Massive question WHY NOT??

    What argument are you trying to win here?

    The club loves the bloke, he is plainly the future of the joint, and I expect they’re desperately trying to get him to commit to a long term deal.

    So what’s your point? They should should be being more naff, more cliched, less cool?

    Pretty sure all that happen when a player plays 200 games,  not 100.

    Really hope they can get a contract sorted during the season. Would be a massive set back if we lose our number 1 midfielder.

    He's a gun and as have everyone on here has done we have enjoyed every one of his 100 games.

    I don't need Robbo to tell me he's good. He can kneel down and slobber all over the Dusty Martin statue he's put up in his backyard.

    What did he have Oliver ranked at again?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
